Fret level & recrown :: Fender Custom Telecaster HH

A custom neck through Tele with dual humbuckers in for a fret dress. Most fret levels that come through the shop are done to correct buzzing issues. This player has a good ear and the flat spots in the jumbo frets were causing intonation issues for him. With a wider fret, the fretted note's contact point gets pushed more towards the bridge as the fret looses it's crown when compared to narrow fret wire. Leveling out the divots and recrowning restores the string's contact point to the center of the fret slot to provide improved intonation.
